If I'm not mistaken Flipwalking is faster than Skipwalking, Deadcode was talking about an automatic flipwalking program (that was not used) if I understood what he wrote.

It is not an automatic flipwalking program. It is a Battle Race brute-force solver that tries all possible paths from the start, de-duplicating when a path is found that leads to a subpixel coordinate that was already covered by a faster path. The first full path that reaches the finish is the fastest, which it then emits as its solution.

Flipwalking is not explicitly encoded anywhere in the program. The fact that it is used is an emergent property, and this was in fact how flipwalking was discovered.

Wow, machine learning evolution of worms. Will we have facilitated flipwalking as scheme option one day?
